    Can someone please send me a picture of your batteries. I had someone steal the batteries out of a 89 classic and I'm not sure I got them back rite? After replacing them with the truck off and the battery kill switch which is connected to the grounds the truck is making a clicking noise and it kills the batteries overnight

    Just follow the batt. wires till they get to starter, pos. cables go on starter stud close to sel. neg. go on lower stud on starter they should be tied in pairs so neg. and pos cables do not rub.

    It's not the main battery cables I'm questioning it's the small ones?

    These are from my 2016 Cascadia. I shot these before I replaced the batteries.

    All the negatives to the outside.
